Thumpin’ Right Along…

Posted by jarret on June 27, 2006 in life, music |

What a week it’s been for Cadence Thump (bloggy) this past week.I know Dave was a little frustrated that we weren’t moving along as fast as he’d liked. Dave is uber-passionate about this band, and wants it to succeed so much, he can actually taste it. He really can. Last week, we really only had one song in the can, but this week it’s like someone hit a switch, and the group just suddenly had all this chemistry, it was just crazy. At the end of a long jam session, Nemmy just started playing Shinedown’s …continue reading

Not In The Cards

Posted by jarret on June 20, 2006 in life, sports |

Subtitled: Nice Guys Sometimes DO Finish FirstWell, I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Our Oilers fell to the Hurricanes last night, and there went the Stanley Cup along with it.Buck up, boys. You were an 8th seeded team that took one of the best teams in the league to seven games. Come on back and do it all again next year.In my last post, I talked a little about traffic in Winnipeg. Today, let me talk about the assholes.So, I’m driving home yesterday, and I need to change lanes due to some heavy …continue reading

Turning Over One Of Those Stones

Posted by jarret on June 19, 2006 in life |

I’m not going to waste a whole other post about the Oilers, but come on – they did everything I pointed out a couple entries ago, and whaddyaknow? A 4–0 shutout, and on the way to Game 7 tonight! Bring that Cup back to Canada, guys!You know how I said in my introductory post about how I wasn’t going to be afraid of turning over stones and pushing boundaries with my topics? This post is one of those.After you read this, you may have the right to call me a racist… I think I might prefer the phrase …continue reading

What Goes “Thump” In The Night?

Posted by jarret on June 16, 2006 in life, music |

Winnipeg’s newest rock and roll quintet, that’s what.After being screwed around in the last band I was in a couple years ago, I finally got the itch to play again, and it just so happened that a friend of a friend was looking to put a project together. So, my aforementioned friend Nemmy (whose real name will never be used online in this blog, but can be found over at MySpace here) introduced me to his friend Dave (clicky).We met, hit it off, and thought we might be able to accomplish something together.Wait …continue reading

He Shoots…. HE SCORES~!

Posted by jarret on June 15, 2006 in sports |

I could have also titled this: “You’re Welcome, Edmonton.”I should be an NHL coach.Either that, or some Internet gnome told Oiler coach Craig MacTavish to read my blog, because the Oilers did the unthinkable and won Game 5, while on the brink of elimination.What did I say? SHOOT THE PUCK!What did the Oilers do?They SHOT THE PUCK.They scored their first goal on a deflected shot from the blueline. EXACTLY WHAT I SUGGESTED. The second goal was a laser beam from Hemsky from the top of the circle. The …continue reading

A Frustrated Oiler Fan Speaks Out

Posted by jarret on June 14, 2006 in sports |

I figure that if I’ve got my own blog, and I’m supposedly a hockey freak, then I’d better damn well make a hockey post before the season is over.Well, tonight could be the end of the season, so here we go.The Edmonton Oilers.Once a dynasty, but sorely trying to live up to that reputation for the last 15 years or so. Well, this year, they’ve finally done it. I didn’t know whether to be pissed off or really happy when the Oilers defeated my beloved Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings in the first round …continue reading
